Time to visit the town on your own before the ship continues across the Vestfjord to the Lofoten Islands, where you will join the exciting Viking feast excursion.

A real Viking feast in Lofoten!

At the Lofotr Viking Museum, the largest Viking building ever found has been recreated. The original Chieftain’s house was established in about 500 AD and was inhabited until around 900 AD, and the rebuilt version exhibits finds from this era.
The Chieftain and the Lady of the house invite you to join them for a real Viking feast in the banquet hall.

Experience the magic and excitement as they make sacrifices to the Gods, praying that the sun will return to avoid Ragnarok, the end of the world.

After the Viking feast, served with home-brewed mead, you will travel by bus to Svolvær where you will rejoin the ship.
